The Annual General Meeting of the ACT Monaro Riverina Branch of AGHS will be followed by our guest speaker, Dr Gweneth Leigh.Gweneth is a writer, practitioner, curator and researcher of the built environment. A graduate of Harvard's Graduate School of Design, her work explores how the design of our open spaces impacts the health and habits of communities. She is a frequent contributor of landscape critique, with articles published in journals including Landscape Architecture Australia and the US professional journal Landscape Architecture Magazine.
